  1. When you pull up behind someone in the left lane (4 lane road) at a red light and no left turn lane, and they wait for the light to turn green to turn on their left turn blinker.

  3. I imagine players are ok with being coached hard if they’re winning; if they’re not winning the coach is just an asshole.
  4. Beard wasn’t a surprise. He went to UT, and everyone knew he was our top target.
  5. Are you stupid or something? Or is this another surly failed attempt at humor?
  6. Fuck yeah for you! Everybody’s body is different, so find what works for you. And we’re all coming from different places when we’re passing along advice and are biased towards what works for us. For reference, I’m pushing 50 and have never been out of shape. And I’ve always favored consistency (over decades) over max effort. Consistency means avoiding injuries and dragging your ass to the gym (or whatever workout) when you don’t want to, knowing a half ass workout is infinitely better than a no ass workout. Also, as you continue your fitness journey, mix it up and try new things (kettlebells, calisthenics, steel mace, body weight exercises, rings, static holds, running, swimming, cycling etc) That helps avoid injuries and burnout and gives us differing modalities to lean on as our bodies change over the next 30 plus years. Good luck and keep it up!
  7. First of all congrats! But take a few days or a week off. The gym is for breaking your muscles down, and the off days are for building them back up. You could try rucking during your off week. Also, you’re a middle aged man, train for the next 30-40 years; not short term gains. Grinding is good, but don’t grind yourself down.
  8. Serious question, how can you comment on his take if you didn’t read it? Agree that SXSW is one of the best weeks in Austin. But sxsw music isn’t what it used to be. Yeah, I know nothing is, but the days of Vans renting out Mohawk for a week and bringing in big name bands are long gone. (Same with Red Bull House and Fader Fort) The money and sponsors just aren’t there. It’s a shame for Austin and the venues that counted on sxsw. I don’t think the blame lies solely with sxsw though. Tastes change (EDM and hip hop vs guitar oriented music) and being associated with a mass casualty event is never good. I’m glad I got to enjoy it as long as I did, and I’ll miss what it was. Best case we get a locally driven experience with more things like SX San Jose and SoCo stomp. Worst case is it’s one more thing that Austin doesn’t have anymore.

    SXSW 2025

    One of the obvious things to me was the lack of sponsors. In years past there were a ton of sponsors (car, beer, clothing, energy drink, media etc) on the sxsw signage at the venues. This year there were three: Rivian, JBL and the Austin Chronicle.
  10. It’s the internet, we got all the time in the world for a long story. But not knowing the story, it was probably a good call. There’s a reason the p bass is the most popular and most recorded bass by far, lack of finickiness being a big one.

    SXSW 2025

    Thanks for this one. They’ve got a shot ton of shows the next couple of days. I’ll check them out.
  12. Take this shit to the 2025 NFL Draft thread.

    We got Soul?

    This one cooks!
  14. Severance agreements aren’t just about the money but about what he gives up for taking that money. The agreement may call for him to forgo his right to collect unemployment insurance or a right to pursue some other cause of action related to his termination or whatever else the company wants to include.
  15. Regarding the Sweet 16, there’s a huge difference between having a sweet 16 caliber season (not a bubble team, ranked well inside the top 25, fun to watch, and an overall level of excitement around the program, etc.) and a bubble team that with some luck and a favorable draw makes the tournament and the sweet 16. Just because we’re not the former doesn’t mean we can’t be the latter. And just because a coach makes the sweet 16 doesn’t mean he’s a sweet 16 caliber coach (by the above definition)
  16. All of this, although dairy has never been a big issue for me. I would also add that it’s pretty hard to change your diet to something like this AND calorie count. So sharpen up what you eat and then focus on how much you eat.
  17. I think it would be cool if we had a coach whose team played hard and smart even as they went through the growing pains that come with NIL/portal era roster churn. Throw in a consistent/identifiable offensive philosophy and that’d be damn near mind blowing. I’d rather not have to watch a team get blown out playing inconsistent, ugly basketball and spend the season hoping they get it together in time for a tourney run.
  18. Not quite. There’s two pieces of gambling legislation. The one the article mentions would allow online sports betting. The other that Sands/the Adelsons are pushing would allow resort style casino gambling in Texas.
  19. Both shows sold out at $105 face value tickets. Good for the gourds. Just such a damn good band. Saw them a ton back in the 90s. Read an interview with Jimmy Smith a few years ago (bassist, and vocals and songwriter with Kevin Russell) and he couldn’t get any traction post Gourds. But then I listened to some of his stuff and it makes sense that he couldn’t get any traction.
  20. Agreed. Never underestimate the ability of people to believe what they want to believe…including message board posters.
  21. That doesn’t make any sense. Reducing fan support also reduces their political capital (ie public goodwill) and a shit ass franchise has way less leverage than a good one.
  22. I highly recommend Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill. Start doing his big three exercises, which strengthen the small muscles below your erectors. Also, as he notes in the book and my Orthopedist and PT echoed, imaging only goes so far to reveal the source of back pain. Sometimes an MRI shows what looks to be a seriously messed up back but the person has no issues, pain or restriction on range of motion. Good luck and sorry about your father.
  23. He clearly knew what he was getting into, so it’s hard to call that an ambush. But it was an exceedingly bad look for aggy and was further confirmation of their little brother status. Is there any way we can get him on here to get his insights on that joke of an interview?
  24. I use Open Office. It works for the limited works processing I need it to do and it’s easy to save documents as PDFs. Be sure and save documents as .doc and not an open office file.
